Can’t begin to express how excited I was when Jaelyn’s mom asked me to photograph her daughter’s senior portraits!! I recently relocated back to the PNW and was thrilled to make the trip down to Portland, Oregon. Jaelyn is stunning and my camera just loved her! She was so sweet and was down for anything, we had lots of laughs at her shoot. Thank you again and remember…
There is no script. Live your life. Soak it all in.
Sooo happy to have my blog back up and running!! There have been some changes and it seems I could write a book about them. I am just happy to be back in the Pacific Northwest with my family. I will be posting all about our adventures in the weeks to come. Make sure to check back 
This is one of my favorite pictures from our road trip. Love how small they are against the big ocean <3

Look at the happy parents with their baby girl. They have the most beautiful family ever!!
I never saw such GORGEOUS cats before. They are so sweet, I had to get a picture of them before the wrestled one another off the bed.
We had so much fun trying to walk to the location. The snow was over 12 inches!!! Here is a shot of Karina walking through the field of snow.
Snow day!! My girls love to hear they have no school and can go out and play in the snow. I braved the cold and caught these images of them. Love how they play
